Barn Sale
A life, one trinket at a time.
Written by David Miller with Jan Peterson
Barn Sale is a biographical story of a gifted, mature actress whose life spans decades of real history, from her youth during the Depression through the turn of the 21st century. Marriage, children, divorce and rebirth of the dream of being an actress bring her to the act of reminiscing as she attempts to put prices on the pieces of her life as she plans for a Barn Sale. She plans a significant life change, while reminiscing certain episodes in her past with humor and pathos. Based on the life of the mother of producer, Patricia Peterson Jamison.
